Rich Fat Bastard's Fun with Social Security

I am a rich fat bastard, all my rich fat bastard friends have long been investing in the stock market. We are really good at it. A year ago the stock market was in the crapper so my fat rich bastard friends and I suddenly started seeing our vast fortunes shrink....slighly.

So we decided it was a good idea as long as one of us was President and Vice President to dump billions of dollars of Social Security funds into the stock market. So we all started buying up stock when it was really cheap. The Nasdaq was under 1000 and the Dow under 6000 we pumped as much as we could to make it look like the markets were out of the bear days and back to the 90's bullish time.

When you are a fat rich bastard and invest in the stock market like my friends and I do you don't care about long term savings and investing. Investing is about quick profits and nothing man has invented can make a person richer faster than the stock market.

So, we have pumped the stock market full of our money, the county is at war (which we also planned) so the defense industry is awake and eager to make more killing machines and other fun and expensive weapons of mass destruction.

Now the stock market is up, we bought in when the bottom fell out so it's time to take someones elses money. The idea is we set up "special" fund made up of all our favorite stocks and then when the Republican controlled congress starts dumping Social Security Money into the fund.....we sell all our holdings and take all the money home!! It is called "Profit Taking" can you say that? Profit Taking? Good!. It is so easy and fun being a rich fat bastard. We will also have those pesky taxes on our profit removed by our fat rich bastard buddies in congress too. They actually think we are going revinvest it...!! Maybe if you build huge luxury homes or yachts you will get some...

When the Social Security fund has lost 50-60% of it's value and when anyone asks we just say..."Oh the stock market requires patience, give it time...". We laugh because we know that it will be just another revenue stream that we live our rich fat bastard lives on. Another broken dream in the lost list that the american worker has endured...boo hoo...

By the way if you had anyplans on becoming a fat rich bastard, don't just be quiet sit back watch FOX Reality shows, go to work and make us more money or we'll declare you a terrorist.

It's frightening. And you've spelled it out clearly. This administration has everything up for sale to its corporate buddies, and the profits don't go to the people. What's it going to take to alert the country to this sell-off? I'm worried.
